Item 7.01. | Regulation FD Disclosure. |
On October 21, 2020, Providence issued a press release announcing the pricing of its previously announced private placement offering of $500 million in aggregate principal amount of its 5.875% senior notes due 2025. A copy of the press release is being furnished herewith as Exhibit 99.1 and is incorporated herein by reference.
Providence intends to use the net proceeds from the sale of the notes, together with borrowings under its credit facility and cash on hand, to finance Providence’s previously announced acquisition of OEP AM, Inc., a Delaware corporation, doing business as Simplura Health Group (“Simplura”), from OEP AM Holdings, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company.
The notes will be Providence’s senior unsecured obligations and will rank senior in right of payment to all of Providence’s future subordinated indebtedness, rank equally in right of payment with all of Providence’s existing and future senior indebtedness, be effectively subordinated to any of Providence’s existing and future secured indebtedness, including indebtedness under Providence’s credit facility, to the extent of the value of the assets securing such indebtedness, and be structurally subordinated to all of the existing and future liabilities (including trade payables) of each of Providence’s non-guarantor subsidiaries.
